I edited my profile at Free Christian Layouts , check out these Myspace Layouts!
My name is Adam. I am a member of Kingston Road Baptist Church . My dad, Fred, is working on this site with me. He lives in Savannah, Ga. and attends Windsor Forest Baptist Church .
We are men that are in this world of ours to tell those who "have ears to hear", about our Savior, Jesus Christ. We believe that He came to Earth to be payment for OUR sins. We also believe that He was blameless in the eyes of God, but since we could not take our own sin, God, the Father, sent his only Son to take the punishment for us. Let us start with the basics and tell you what you need to know first. Then you can read some of the blogs we plan on posting to learn more about Him.
GOD'S PLAN: PEACE AND LIFE FOREVER
God loves you, and He wants you to live in peace with Him now and in Heaven forever.
"Therefore since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord, Jesus Christ." [Romans 5:1]
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." [John 3:16]
"... but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." [Romans 6:23b]
OUR PROBLEM: SIN GETS IN THE WAY
God did not make us robots to mindlessly love and obey Him. Instead, He gave us a brain and freedom of choice. But, like Adam, we often choose our own selfish ways (read Genisis chapters 2-3).This part of us is called sin, and it pushes us away from God.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." [Romans 3:23]
"For the wages of sin is death." [Romans 6:23a]
"So the Lord God banished him (Adam)from the Garden of Eden..." [Genesis 3:23a]
"But your inequities have separated you from God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear." [Isaiah 59:2]
GOD'S ANSWER: THE CROSS
Jesus Christ is the only answer to this problem of being shut off from God. He died on the cross and rose from the grave to take the punishment for our sin. That's how He is able to bring us back together with God.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." [Romans 5:8]
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under Heaven given to men by which to be saved." [Acts 4:12]
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ," [1 Timothy 2:5]
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my words and believes Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life." [John 5:24]
OUR PART: ACCEPT JESUS
We accept Jesus Christ when we believe His message and trust Him alone to save us.
"All the prophets testify about Him, that everyone who believes in Him, recieves forgiveness of sins through His name." [Acts 10:43]
"Do not let your heart be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me." [John 14:1]
"Yet to all who recieved Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God." [John 1:12]
HOW TO RECIEVE JESUS:
1. Admit your need (I am a sinner).
2. Be willing to turn away from your sins.
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave.
You can invite Jesus to come in and control your life. (Pray to recieve Him as your Savior.)
WHAT TO PRAY:
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am Sinful and
I need Your forgiveness.
I believe that You died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sin.
I want to turn from my sinful ways and follow You instead.
Please forgive me of my sins and show me the path to follow.
I invite You to come into my heart and life.
Amen.
GOD'S GIFT TO US: HIS WORD
If you ask Jesus to come into your life, do you know what He has given you?
"... for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."" [Romans 10:13]
"... neither height not depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, our Lord." [Romans 8:39]
:Therefore since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord, Jesus Christ." [Romans 5:1]
"He who has the Son, has life; he who does not have the Son of God, does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life." [1 John 5:12-13]
YOUR NEW LIFE
When you recieve Jesus, you are born into God's family through the work of the Holy Spirit who lives in every believer... this is called "new birth" or being "born again." God bless you as you begin your wonderful new life in Jesus Christ.
There is something you must know before going on in your new walk, though. Life will not get easier just because you have accepted Him. There have even been accounts of life getting far more difficult. Satan gets busy when God is involved. Be prepared. Get with another more mature Christian so you will have some support. And, if you begin to backslide or if you have recently come back from a backsliding event, dig into His word. It will bring you strength and comfort as well as get you "armored up" to face the demons of the world.
If you have accepted Christ as your personal savior, then let us invite you to come to one of our churches or to call one of our Pastors, Trey Lewis(Kingston Road) or Rick West(Windsor Forest).
